Have you ever came across a situation where you were trying to figure out a bug in your program and the JavaScript included in the file has been minified or obfuscated? Finding bugs in a minified code is nearly impossible, since a line of code which is almost millions of characters long is barely readable. In that case, you need some JavaScript Beautification tool that can reformat the code for you, making it more organized and readable.

Though the terms JavaScript beautifier, Decompressor, and Unpacker are used interchangeably, there is a slight different between “compress”, “minify”, and “pack” JavaScript code. Compression removes comments and extra white spaces from the code, Minification replaces and shortens variable names and arguments, while Packing goes one step further, encodes the JavaScript functions, and does whatever it can to minimize the size of the file. In order to read these compressed / minified / packed files, you need a good, multi-functional JavaScript Beautifier.

There are plenty of online tools available that can beatify your JavaScript code, and we have found a bunch of 10 such tools that can beautify / unminify / decompress / unpack / deobfuscate JavaScipt code. Have a look and give them a try.
